“Is this really a good idea, Alice?”

Alice looked up from the dials and buttons on the control panel she was stood at, “Come on Hydranoid - I thought I was supposed to be the worry-wart - I’ve fixed this thing with Grandfather countless times. It’ll be fine.”

The little creature huffed, and turned away pointedly. Thus, he didn’t see Alice smile very slightly - it was nice to have somebody worrying about her, even if their worries were unfounded. Besides, what could go wrong? It wasn’t like she was going to end up with another room-mate in her head if she opened the portal to the wrong place. And even if she did, Masquerade would probably eat them, right? That was how that worked - she was sure she’d heard that somewhere before. Or… Or possibly that was sharks. 

Anyway! She clapped her hands together - the machine was as ready to use as she could get it to be. 

With the flick of a switch, the machine started with a rumble. And then slowly, slowly, the glass face of the thing began to swirl with light.

Alice watched with bated breath - so far, so good. All the readings were stable and it seemed like they were going to get somewhere without breaking the machine for once. Of course, once she’d thought that, it was all over - with the most almighty crack, the room was filled with a flood of light and shards of glass. Alice dived for the control panel - she had to turn it off, or down, or something. But she was too slow, far too slow. When her eyes had finally adjusted to the dim light of the aftermath, all that was left was the acrid sting of smoke and an utterly broken machine.

sanguine: does your muse typically have an optimistic, pessimistic, or some middle ground outlook on life?

//I guess most people would see it as optimistic, as she does her best to encourage the people she cares about, but really it’s a middle ground. She keeps a lot of her negative views to herself, not wanting to worry anybody or bring them down. She believes in her friends and family, holding them in high regard, but she still has fairly bitter views of the world in general, believing she was dealt an unfair hand and that she’s a burden to her father.

atoll: if your muse could go anywhere, without any restrictions whatsoever, where would they go? why would they go there?

//She’d love to see the deep sea! It’s a huge mystery what lives there, and it fascinates her. She’d also like to see the Shadow Realm for herself.

cool grey: if your muse could ensure one thing for certain in their future to come, what would it be?

//The eternal happiness of her father. She wants nothing more than for her papa to have a good life, free of burdens like her or feeling like he doesn’t deserve anything good.
